a. Construct a dotplot using the 15 observations on number
of violent crimes reported. Which schools stand out from
the rest?
b. One of the Florida schools only has 793 students, and
a few of the schools are quite a bit larger than the rest.
Because of this, it might make more sense…
Create boxplots for these two data sets (either drawn by hand or asa printout from Dataplotter or another suitable computer package).Include all the relevant information required for drawing boxplotsas set out in Subsection 1.2 of Unit 11.The summary values can be displayed on the boxplots themselves orin a table to the side of the chart, as they appear in Dataplotter.
Please answer section c questions.
